She woke from her nap after 1 hr 50 mins so that disproves my lunch theory!  LOL! 

She woke less than exuberant but she wasn't screaming her face off either!  PHEW!

Self settled to sleep tonight in about 15 mins (average for her age I think) - this is BIG!  She has been requiring me to stay with her until she is asleep for a couple of weeks now.  Man, I love BW!  There was no crying, just a bit of flopping about to get herself comfy :)

Ugh - short night again.  10hrs 10 mins... woke unhappy at 540am.

I can feel that her lower gums are opening up for a new molar though... poor kid.  I am starting to think this might all be teething discomfort and I will just have to muddle through :(

:( poor A. When Z is teething our nights are always short unless he wakes in the night and I medicate ::) if you worried she needs a big catch up night you could go in at 3 or so and medicate then PD back to sleep and hope she sleeps in :-\

She has a gross lumpy somewhat open gum so it must be that, right?!  Ugh.  I really hope that is all that is causing this and it isn't something I haven't figured out health-wise :(

I tried some acetaminophen about 45 mins before her nap so I hope it helps her get a good nap.  Managed to keep her up until 1155am and she was so tired!  It was so hard :(

I think I will give this holding of her nap until noon another day or two and if I don't see a change with her night length, I might have to try something else... I just don't know what to try next :/

If you do EBT do you think she will sleep a bit longer, ie still wake at same time but get extra 1/2 hrs sleep?

It used to work, but she just won't settle any earlier right now... I have no idea what is up with this kid...

We are 1 hr 25 mins into her nap right now and I haven't heard a peep.  I really hope she takes a good 2 hr 15 min nap today - she is just so much happier with that touch longer than 2 hrs!

She woke screaming :(

I just don't know anymore... she was happy as larry once she had a chance to wake up and get back into playing etc.  She didn't act tired at all until I put her to bed at 725pm.. she went right out without much fuss by about 735pm. 

I give up.  This kid baffles me.  No pain meds tonight either and she settled fine.  Weird kid.

Slept soundly all night and woke at 530am crying but resettled within a couple of minutes and was quiet until 6am... wondering if something is waking her?  Maybe a neighbour leaving for work?  And maybe she is starting to get used to whatever sound disturbs her??

Went to the mall this morning with her to pick up some summer things (on the hope that we eventually get some sun!) and she fell asleep in the car at 950am!  WTH!?  Luckily it was only for about 5mins.  Put her down at 1215pm.  It's 145pm now.. nothing yet... hope this doesn't jinx me!  LOL!

ARGH!  And the city workers just woke her after 1 hr 50 with big machinery that beeps as it reverses :(

ETA - she resettled!!!  WOOT WOOT!  We are now at 2 hrs 15 mins with a 5 min faffing around the 1 hr 50 min mark...

forgot to say - thanks Claire and Sara - pushing her nap out seems to have done it!  Now if we just get those mornings solidified!

Yay!  Go A!!!!  I'm sure it'll all settle down.  It just takes a bit of time to get over any accumulated OT.xx

Totally - I have decided that she can have her day of catch-up that you mentioned earlier ;)  She is still sleeping - 2 hrs 35mins.

This is my chance to move BT to 8pm ;)  I am gonna wake her at 3pm (about 8 mins) to keep BT to 8/815pm :)  I much prefer an 8pm BT for the summer months with her nap a touch later (with a later wake time closer to 630/7am)...  Will be far better for outings and family visit that we have in July for 2 weeks ;)
